Carolyn Genders, "Living in the country, references to landscapes influences my work. Responding to the material & rhythm of form, I make marks of depth and variation, scratching and scraping through layers of slip, revealing the clay. I work intuitively, spontaneously, creating forms and surfaces that evoke the feeling I have when I am part of the landscape, not illustrating it but striving to convey nuance of shape, balance and mass and creating mood and atmosphere."
